Additional Discussion

The structure of fees and costs in the judicial system is complex. Historically, court fee/cost schedules were developed locally to cover the cost of court operations. The complexity of the schedule developed as a result of the growth in the body of laws and the types of cases brought before the court. While the current fee/cost structure reflects the origins of court operations, it does not reflect the original purpose of the fees/costs. Modern court fees and costs typically do not cover the cost of services provided; therefore, a subsidy from the State general fund is required. This subsidy pricing structure attempts to avoid unreasonable limitations on access to the judicial system.

The logic that will drive the fee structure of the Circuit Court in the future is one of standardization and consolidation. In standardizing fees, the Circuit Court will alleviate the confusion of trying cases in different jurisdictions. The Administrative Office of the Courts would like to eliminate the smaller fees and raise the initial filing fees. The fees will be designed to recover a portion of the costs of processing a case, ensure access to the court, and provide a disincentive for frivolous lawsuits. This approach to fee setting may allow a larger portion of fees to be collected by the court, thereby increasing revenues.

In addition to the state component of Circuit Court financing, which is the focus of this report, there is a local component as well. Circuit Courts generate revenue from fines, forfeitures, and certain appearance fees, which are returned to the subdivisions. Fees and charges are also levied for such functions as collection of non-support payments and domestic relations matters. In these cases, revenues are used to support the local governments’ costs either of the direct function or other judicial-related functions such as local court libraries. For the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, the total of these local revenues was approximately $258,833,000 statewide.

- 8 -


Additional Information The Real Property Record Improvement Fund was to expire on June 30, 2001, but the sunset provision was removed by the Legislature during the 2007 special session. (Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article, §§ 13-601-13-606).


The Circuit Court Real Property Records Improvement Fund was established by §§13-601-13-606 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland for the purposes of repairing and modernizing the equipment, and equipment related services in the Land Records offices of the Circuit Courts. The surcharges have been $20.00 for mortgages, leases, deeds and deeds of trust, with all other instruments being assessed a $2.00 fee. During the 1999 Session, the General Assembly enacted legislation to capture additional Fund revenues from copies made on equipment purchased through the Fund. For the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, the special fund revenue generated from the surcharge and copy fees totaled $21,740,477.

The surcharge resembles market pricing in its intent to provide funds to cover the cost of improvements to service delivery at the land records office and in assigning the costs of service expansion to the direct beneficiaries of the service. Despite adding another fee to the land recordation process, the burden of the surcharge is not substantial.

Circuit Court- Criminal Injuries Compensation Victims of Crime Fund, Victim & Witness Protection & Relocation Fund C00A0132

- 10 -



Criminal defendants, in both the Circuit and District Courts, are required to pay costs of the dedicated funds set up to assist the victims and witnesses of crimes. These costs - $3 for non-jailable vehicle offense, $35 for other crimes tried in the District Court, and $45 for other crimes tried in the Circuit Court – are deposited into three funds for victims’ programs.

Chapter 455, Acts of 1968, created the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board (now codified under the Criminal Procedure Article, Title 11), to pay medical expenses and other specific disability payments to individuals injured or killed while preventing crimes, during crimes or in apprehending criminals. By Chapter 224, Acts of 1993, The Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund was created to fund the awards made by the Board.

Chapter 165, Acts of 1987, created the Maryland Victims of Crime Fund, for deposit of defendants’ assets resulting from movie deals, book contracts and other contracts relating to, and resulting from, the notoriety of their crimes. After payments to victims, money remaining in the Fund was to be used for implementation of statutory guidelines for treatment of victims and witnesses. Chapters 256/257, Acts of 1988, created the State Board of Victim Services (now codified under the Criminal Procedure Article, Title 11) to oversee such implementation and to encourage various victim/witness programs and on ratification of Art. 47 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights charged the Board with implementation of that Article.

Chapter 474, Acts of 1994, created a program for protection of victims and witnesses and for their relocation for that purpose or to facilitate participation in court proceedings (now codified under the Criminal Procedure Article, Title 11), together with the Victim and Witness Protection and Relocation Fund, for implementation of the program.

The first $500,000 of the $3 fee, collected by the District or Circuit Court is allocated equally between the Maryland Victim of Crime Fund and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund, with the latter getting all money above $500,000.

The $45 fee collected by the Circuit Court for other crimes is allocated as follows: $22.50 to the Maryland Victims of Crime Fund Account $ 2.50 to the Victim and Witness Protection and Relocation Fund $20.00 to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund

Other Revenue Sources: The Attorney General is to deposit into the Maryland Victims of Crime Fund Account any money remaining in an escrow account, derived from notoriety of crimes contracts with defendants, after payments, such as subrogation claims of the State, court ordered restitution, and judgments arising out of the crime. See also District Court fees.

Section 2-206 of the Estates and Trusts Article states that the Register of Wills in each county and Baltimore City are entitled to charge and collect for the performance of their duties. The fee for this service ranges from $50 to over $2,500 depending on the value of the probate estate. In addition, the registers are allowed a commission of 25% of the inheritance tax for receiving and paying over to the State the inheritance tax due. In FY 08, the registers collected $23.9 million from fees and the 25% commission and remitted $5.5 million in excess fees to the State. Of the $23.9 million collected, $7.1 million was collected from probate fees and $16.8 million was collected from the 25% commission.

The total cost of operations for the Registers in FY 08 was $18.4 million. In the absence of the 25% commission, probate fee revenues alone, $7.1 million in FY 08, would not be adequate to cover Registers’ expenses. However, the 25% commission allows the Registers to cover the costs of collecting the inheritance tax.

The probate fees and 25% commission can be categorized as market pricing since user fees are designed to cover the cost of operations. The fee scale used by the Registers estate value, provides a mechanism, to correlate the fee with "ability to pay". The ability of the Registers to maintain the sliding fee structure is predicated on their ability to collect the 25% commission from the State. This allows the Registers to keep probate fees reasonable.

Trucks at 45 tons or less went from $15 to $30 For each ton in excess of 45 tons rose from $2 to $5 Blanket permit fees increased from $40 to $50 monthly/$350 to $500 annually Book Permits good for 45 tons increased from $150 to $300.

Additional Discussion Operating and capital expenditures for the Department of Transportation are supported by dedicated sources of revenue. The majority of funding is realized from gas and titling tax revenues, miscellaneous fees and taxes, and bond proceeds. Funds are collected and deposited into the Transportation Trust Fund. Expenditures are based on budgetary need.

The Annotated Code (Transportation Article §24-112) permits the Department to set fees for hauling overweight cargo at rates which recover the cost of administration and compliance monitoring. This includes the costs of issuing permits, and the capital and operating costs of the truck weight enforcement activities of the Maryland State Police. For Fiscal Year 2008, fees generated for SHA were $12,997,137.

In addition to the transfers made to the Maryland State Police by SHA, revenues were also distributed by MDOT for their Commercial Vehicle program for Fiscal Year 2008 in the amount of $14,372,337 which includes their part of truck weight enforcement activities.

The Department advises that the fees have not been raised since 1984 in order to keep the rates competitive with those charged by states with competing port operations. The Department meets with representatives of area states on an annual basis to compare fees.

Operating and capital expenditures for the Department of Transportation are supported by a dedicated source of revenue. The majority of funding is realized from gas and titling tax revenues, miscellaneous fees and taxes, and bond proceeds. Funds are collected and deposited into the Transportation Trust Fund. Expenditures are based on budgetary need. The Department does not generally consider the costs associated with service provision when determining fee levels.

The Maryland Port Administration derives revenues primarily from dockage, wharfage, crane, & and cargo handling fees as well as equipment rental and terminal leases. Because the Port of Baltimore competes for business with other ports in the region, fees reflect market value for the various services provided.

Most customers have long term leases that provide pricing incentives when volume of cargo exceeds pre-determined levels.

Operating and capital expenditures for the Department of Transportation are supported by dedicated sources of revenues. The majority of funding is realized from gas and titling tax revenues, federal fund reimbursement, miscellaneous fees and taxes, and bond proceeds. Funds are collected and deposited into the Transportation Trust Fund. Expenditures are based on budgetary needs. The Department does not generally consider the costs associated with service provision when determining fee levels.


- 124 -


The fee structure for the Maryland Transit Administration is adjusted periodically to allow sharing of the cost of the system between two groups.

(1) Riders - the direct beneficiaries who benefit from the convenience of the system itself and riders paying at the fare box.

(2) Motorists - the indirect beneficiaries who benefit from the reduced traffic load on highways and pay via gasoline taxes.

The rates charged by the Maryland Transit Administration are also adjusted for certain riders. Discounts are available through daily, weekly or monthly unlimited use passes. Senior citizens and the disabled receive a two-thirds discount on a single ride in the Baltimore region. The discount partially mitigates hardship to these riders. Also, there are limited programs available through other State agencies. In addition, free ridership for state employees was initiated in spring 2001, to reduce vehicle congestion and environmental impact. Each agency is budgeted for and remits funding to the Transportation Trust Fund to replace lost revenue.

There is no regulatory citation for the fees charged. Schedules are maintained in the MTA schedule of tariffs. Proposed fee modifications are not subject to legislative review or publication in the Maryland Register, but do require publication in the newspapers and at agency facilities followed by public hearings.

Miscellaneous operating revenues (e.g., advertising space, leased space in and above metro stations, building and land rental, BWI parking) are market-based.

Operating and capital expenditures for the Department of Transportation are supported by dedicated sources of revenue. The majority of funding is realized from gas and titling tax revenues, miscellaneous fees and taxes, and bond proceeds. Funds are collected and deposited into the Transportation Trust Fund. Expenditures are based on budgetary need. The Department does not generally consider the costs associated with service provision when determining fee levels.

As the fee summary schedule below indicates, aircraft landing and parking fees constitute the largest revenue category for the Maryland Aviation Administration. These and other fees charged are market-based. The Annotated Code (Transportation Article §5- 408 (b)(2)(ii)) states that fees are "to be reasonable. In determining reasonableness the Administration shall consider the charges, fees or prices for the same goods or services at comparable airports”. Fees, which are reviewed annually, are generally based both on volume of activity (e.g., number of passengers, number and weight of aircraft using facilities) and volume of facilities used (e.g., per square footage of ticket counter space). Although the market-based fees are not tied to service expenditure levels, they do provide the flexibility necessary to maintain competitive pricing.

There is no regulatory citation for the fees charged. Schedules are maintained in the BWI Tenant Directive and the Maryland Aviation Administration Rate and Leasing Policy. Proposed fee modifications are not subject to Legislative review or publication in the Maryland Register. Current fees were last modified September 1, 2008 BWI and July 1, 2008 at Martin State Airport.

A 2007 proposal would have increased the dealer's license fee from $25 to $100, the 2-year paid vessel registration fee from $24 to $100, the title fee from $2 to $10, the replacement fee from $2 to $10, the documented decal from $10 to $100 and the dealer certificate of number from $24 to $100.

Additional Discussion The Board of Physicians regulates physicians, physician assistants, medical radiation technologists (radiographers), radiation therapists, nuclear medicine technologists, and respiratory care practitioners through licensure and disciplinary actions. The revenues collected are from license and license renewal fees and delegation agreements for physician assistants.

Through FY 1991, the Board of Physicians Quality Assurance (now “Board of Physicians”) was a general fund agency and any fees went into the general fund. Legislation passed in 1991 converted the Board into a special fund agency, creating the Board of Physicians Fund as a non-reverting special fund. At that time, 20% of the fees went into the general fund: 80% went to the Board’s fund. In 1993 (effective FY 1995), 14% of the fees was directed into state scholarship funds, 6% into general funds, and 80% to the Board’s fund. In 1999, the 6% directed into the general funds was returned to the Board’s fund by legislation; therefore, 14% was distributed to the scholarship funds and 86% to the Board’s fund. In legislation passed in 2007, the 14% to the scholarship funds was reduced to 12% effective FY 2009.

Fees from physician assistants were originally distributed as 20% to the general fund and 80% to the Board’s fund by 1992 legislation. That distribution was unchanged until the 2007 legislation directed that, for FY 2008, 14% would go to the scholarship fund and the balance to the Board’s fund and, for FY 2009 and later, 12% would go to the scholarship fund and the balance to the Board’s fund.

The owner or lessee of such equipment may also be assessed an inspection fee if a follow-up inspection is required on an annual inspection to ensure compliance with corrections detailed on the inspection checklist. The inspection fee schedule is as follows: Half day (up to 4 hours), not to exceed $250 Full day (up to 8 hours), not to exceed $500

5. The Commissioner may authorize third party qualified elevator inspections to perform certain inspections. These third party inspectors must register with the Commissioner prior to obtaining authorization. The fee to register as a third party qualified elevator inspector is as follows:


The amusement ride and elevator inspections done by the Division of Labor and Industry help protect the safety of the general public. Funding for these inspections is generated by assessments on insurance companies collected by the Workers’ Compensation Commission. Insurance companies merely pass along the costs by charging higher premiums to their customers. Since the purchasers of insurance would be liable for any injuries, they are actually the prime beneficiaries of the inspections.

The General Fund is reimbursed only for the special and for indirect costs. Inspections are done on an annual basis.

Boiler and pressure vessel inspections are undertaken by the Division of Labor and Industry to ensure the safety of the population. The inspections were undertaken after a series of incidents that endangered significant elements of the population. The costs of the examinations are borne by the owners of the boilers, who receive much of the benefit for the inspections as they would be held responsible for injuries incurred due to accidents. The fees are set at a sufficiently low level so as to impose no significant hardships on the owners. Certificates of inspection are valid for 12 to 24 months, depending on the type of equipment. Inspections on elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and moving walks are conducted by State inspectors without charge provided the owner or lessee ensures the equipment is installed and maintained to applicable safety codes and regulations. If the equipment is not in compliance, requiring a subsequent inspection(s) from the State inspector, then the owner or lessee is charged an inspection fee.

Note that over five million dollars are disbursed from the special fund for grants, impact aid, track operations and other related activities.

The State Racing Commission, established by {11-201 of the Business Regulation Article, licenses and regulates all employees of racetracks and all participants in races in order to ensure the integrity of the races. Aside from this societal benefit of regulation, those who are regulated accrue some benefits due to the restriction on competition that regulation brings.

Revenues received by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Title 11 of the Business Regulation Article are paid into a special fund. Monies are disbursed from this fund for various purposes, including impact aid to localities with racetracks. At the end of the year, after these statutory disbursements have been made, the remaining money is split between the Maryland Agricultural Education and Rural Development Assistance Fund and Thoroughbred Standardbred breeder programs.

Costs of the Commission are relatively constant, especially the expenditures from the special fund, most of which are set by statute at a certain dollar amount. These costs have been around $5 million since FY 1991. Operating expenses and salaries have totaled around $600,000 for the last three years. Track license fees have consistently generated around $15,000 to $18,000, while the occupational licensing fees bring in between $172,000 and $300,000. An insignificant portion of this surplus is paid for by those licensed by the Commission. Less than five percent of the Commission's revenues come from the occupational licenses, and less than one-quarter of one percent from the track licenses. The benefit of this regulation is the largest source of revenue. Others involved in racing, such as jockeys, owners and trainers, also benefit from the assurance of integrity. The distribution of burdens arising from this regulation is equitable.

Contracted vendor for examination administration, March 1992. Additional Discussion The State Board of Barbers, established by {4-201 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article, licenses and regulates barbers in order to ensure that licensees have the experience and knowledge necessary to practice safely and with the degree of expertise indicated by the license. Aside from the societal benefits of regulation, benefits accrue to barbers through the recognition if assumed competency that licensing engenders and the restriction on competition within the trade. All revenues received by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Title 4 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article are paid into the general fund. The Board is required to set fees (by regulation) so as to cover the direct and indirect expenses of regulation §4-206. Staggered licenses are now in place as of 1999. House bill 727 State Board of Barbers-State Board of Cosmetologists-Citations passed in 2005. This bill authorizes inspectors for the State Board of Barbers and the State Board of Cosmetologists to issue citation to impose civil penalties on licensees and permit holders for violation of laws and regulations. Any civil penalties imposed may not exceed $300 for all violations cited per day. There will be a potential increase in general fund revenue from civil penalties after implementation with some offsetting expenses for any increase in administrative hearings. The surplus is paid by the barbers and their customers (to the extent that regulatory costs can be passed on). Since these two groups are the primary beneficiaries of the regulation, it seems that the distribution of burdens is equitable. The surplus, however, means that these two groups are burdened more than the average taxpayer with paying for the general fund operations of the State of Maryland.

The State Board of Public Accountancy, established by §2-201 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article, licenses and regulates certified public accountants in order to establish a high standard of integrity and dignity for practicing certified public accountancy.

STATE FEES AND CHARGES Additional Discussion Continued All other fees are deposited in a special fund and used exclusively to offset the expenses incurred by the Board for the administration, proctoring, grading and any other expenses associated with the Uniform CPA Examination. The fees, which are set primarily by statute, and other revenues which the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation receives under Title 2 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article, are paid into a non-lapsing special fund. There is no legal requirement, which links revenues and expenditures of the Board, though there is a logical connection. Costs of the Board are relatively constant. The benefits of regulating accountants are captured primarily by accountants and their customers. Although these two groups bear the costs of regulation, which implies the distribution of the burden in equitably placed, the large surplus means that accountants and their clients are bearing a larger burden of general fund expenditures than the average Maryland citizen.

The benefits associated with this regulation are primarily public in nature.

By law, revenue must be deposited in the general fund and shall be at least equal to the direct and indirect costs associated with the operation of the regulatory program. The benefits of this regulation are captured primarily by the general public and employees of those who are regulated. FY 2006 is the first year of the new Board's operation. Fees were set at a level to recover estimated direct and indirect costs. Prior fiscal history is not relevant as the cost recovery requirements represent new law. The costs are paid by those with the above-mentioned machinery and, to the extent that costs can be passed on, by their customers. There is almost no private benefit to be had from this regulation, yet the costs are borne privately, by the regulated group.

All revenues received by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Title 12 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article are paid into the general fund. There is no legal requirement that connects these revenues with the expenses of the Board, but there is a logical relationship between the two.

DATE AND AMOUNT OF LAST CHANGE: October 1997, Pawnbroker Dealer $75

AMOUNT OF OTHER GENERAL OR SPECIAL FUNDS USED FOR SAME EXPENDITURES: N/A Additional Discussion The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation regulates secondhand precious metal object dealers and pawnbrokers (Business Regulation Article, Title 12). To deal in these areas, one must receive a license from the Department. Licensing ensures that licensees will be cooperative with efforts to recover stolen materials. As there are no requirements for licensure other than providing information, the regulated group gains no competitive advantage. Regulation of this group serves the public interest, but not private interest.

The licensees and their customers are bearing more than 100% of the costs of this program, while deriving no private benefit other than leave to do business. Despite the relatively large annual surplus and the fact that licensing does not serve any direct interest of the licenses, the cost of applying for a license was raised in 1991 from $200 to $300, and background checks were instituted, which cost $42 per employee. The renewal fee had increased from $200 every other year to $300 in 1991, but the re-codification of the Business Regulation Article reduced it back to $200. Fees for original licenses and renewals were reduced to $15 in 1997. Fee collection for criminal background checks were transferred to CJIS in 1997.

All revenues received under Title 7 of this article are paid into the general fund. No legal requirement exists which ties receipts and expenditures of the Board, though there exists a logical connection between the two. As the total economic benefit derived from the regulation of foresters is both public and private in nature, the general public and foresters as a group should share the costs of regulation.

The State Board of Pilots, established by {11-201 of the Business Occupations and Professions Article, licenses and regulates pilots operating in Maryland waters. The Board is responsible for ensuring that safe pilotage is provided. Aside from this societal benefit of regulation, benefits accrue to pilots through the assumption of competency that licensing engenders and the restriction of competition within the trade. The disposition of remaining funds is not specified in statute, but in practice it goes into a special fund for the Board. As licensing fees are the primary source of revenue for the Board, these fees must cover expenses.

Since the Board's compensation must be covered, the Board may require flexibility in setting its fees. Because, over a two-year period, revenues are so much greater than the total expenditures for the Board, flexibility is not needed at the current time, although the fees are set in statute (BOP §11-406) so the Board has relatively less leeway than otherwise possible. The unlimited license fee increased from $400 to $600 in 1989, while the limited licenses have been changed since at least 1984.

Aside from these societal benefits of regulation, benefits accrue to landscape architects through the recognition of assumed competency that licensing engenders and the limitation of competition within the trade.

It had been the case that statute required all authorized expenses of the Board be payable only from monies collected by the Board. This requirement was changed in 1992, however, when all revenues became general fund revenues. Effective July 1, 2003, the fund status of this Board was again changed to special fund as it became part of the Occupational and Professional Licensing Design Board's fund.

The Maryland Home Improvement Commission was established by Article 56, Section 250 in 1962. The Commission licenses and regulates home improvement contractors, subcontractors and salespersons to ensure that consumers dealing with these licensees are afforded protection under the law.

An applicant for a contractor’s, sub-contractors or salesperson’s license must pass an examination as required since 1979 under Article 56, Section 257D. Pursuant to Section 8-302(g), Business Regulation Article, the Commission may use a testing service to administer the required examinations.

The Home Improvement Guaranty Fund, established by Article 56, Section 277A in 1985, compensates homeowners for losses due to poor, unworkmanlike, inadequate or incomplete work by licensed contractors. Each contractor pays an initial fee of $100 into the Fund in addition to the licensing fee and a $100 assessment at every license renewal. Over the last fifteen years the assessment at renewal has fluctuated between $50 and $100. Renewal assessments are evaluated by the Commission and the Department every two years, based on the current fund balance, pending claims and past claims pay-out rates. Effective with licenses expiring on or after July 1, 2006, the renewal assessment will be $75.

All revenues from license fees received by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Title 8 of the Business Regulation Article are paid into the general fund. There is no legal requirement that connects these revenues with the expenses of the Commission, but there exists a logical relationship. Costs of the Commission are relatively constant and since the initiation of staggered license expiration dates in 1999, revenues have remained consistent. Original licenses issued after April 2000 must be renewed every two years from the date of issuance of the original license. This has eliminated the previous revenue fluctuation when the expiration of all licenses was on the same two-year cycle. The costs of the program are aid by licensees, and the costs associated with regulation may be passed on by licensees to consumers. Since the benefits of regulation are captured by both licensees and homeowners, the distribution of burdens appears equitable. Licensing fees for contractors, subcontractors and salespersons were raised in 1992 by 28.6%, 67% and 50% respectively.

The State Athletic Commission, established by §4-201 of the Business Regulation Article, licenses and regulates participants, promoters, referees and judges of boxing, wrestling and kickboxing events, as well as sports agents, in order to ensure that these events are fairly conducted and are safe for the participants. The benefits arising from this regulation accrue primarily to participants in these events, in the form of safeguards for their well-being. The public also benefits through the protection of the integrity of the events.

All revenues received by the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Title 4 of the Business Regulation Article are paid into the general fund. There is no legal requirement that connects these revenues with the expenses of the Commission, but a logical relationship exists between the two.

The Commission generates a large surplus every year, but this is not due to the licensing fees. The surplus results from payments for services such as pay-per-view and closed circuit television and admission taxes. The distribution of burdens appears equitable. Participants in the matches benefit in a more direct and substantial manner than anyone else, but the per capita cost to the general public (i.e., those in attendance and watching on television) is very low.

The State waives these fees in several situations. For example, if the participant is indigent, disabled or attending school, they may receive an exemption. Additional Discussion

The Division of Parole and Probation is responsible for monitoring offenders which have been sentenced to parole or probation. In order to offset the costs of monitoring the offenders, fees are collected and credited to the general fund. However, many offenders do not pay their fees because their funds are limited or they receive other exemptions. Furthermore, courts often place higher priorities on funds received from people within their supervision. For example, funds collected may be assigned to court fees, victim compensation, or fines before the remainder will be turned over to the Parole and Probation Division for supervisory fees. This often results in a shortfall between fees collected and the actual costs of supervision.

The State may waive these fees in several situations. For example, if the participant is indigent, disabled or attending school, they may receive an exemption.


The Division of Parole and Probation is responsible for monitoring offenders that are participating in the Drinking Driver Monitor Program. In 2005, the program was moved from a generally funded program to a special fund, which is operated solely from the program fees collected from offenders. In order to offset the costs to monitor the program, fees are collected and credited to the special fund. However, some offenders are exempted from payment of fees. This may result in a shortfall between fees collected and the actual costs of the Drinking Driver Monitor Program.

This policy provides for undergraduate tuition to be established independent of tuition at comparable institutions. However, tuition information for comparable institutions within the region and nationally is to be made available to the Board of Regents Committee on Finance at the time it considers the operating budget request and the related tuition adjustments.

The Sewage Sludge Utilization permit fee is set by regulation, and complements the Annual Generator fee to support the operating expenses of the sewage sludge program within the Waste Management Administration. The fees are levied at varying rates, depending upon the type of permit. 2) Generator Fee

The fee charges for generators of sewage sludge vary dramatically by the amount of sludge generated and the category of the permittee. Essentially, the fee for a sewage sludge generator in Maryland is calculated as a base rate of $1 per wet ton of sewage sludge, which is then multiplied by an adjustment factor from 0.3 to 1.55 based on the classification of the sludge and the activity of the permittee. Basically, the fee is set to reflect the hazard and regulatory effort caused by the permittee.

Facility Permit Fees

The rate for facility permit fees is determined by the Department, according to guidelines established in §7-237 of the Environment Article. This Section states that the rates of the fees should be set on the basis of the following criteria:

The threat to the environment posed by the particular controlled hazardous substance. The anticipated cost of monitoring and regulating the facility. The anticipated needs for program development activities relating to the management of controlled hazardous substances. The anticipated cost of removing and properly disposing of any controlled hazardous substance that may escape from the regulated facility.

The law determines the criteria for the setting of fees. Fees are established or amended in regulation.

Hauler’s and Driver's Certificates

The Department has authority to set the rates of these fees, with a maximum set in law. The statutory provisions are as follows: Type of Certificate Citation Maximum Fee Current Fee Vehicle Certification §7-252(a) $ 50 $50 Driver Certification §7-252(b) 20 20

As both of the fees are currently set at their maximum rates, a statutory change would be required to increase their rates.


With legislative direction, the fee-setting structure for Controlled Hazardous Substance facility permits is specifically determined by regulation. The system of determining the fee for a particular facility (as detailed on the previous page) is based on a combination of the costs to regulate the facility and the potential harm caused by the facility. This method seems to represent an effective combination of two justifiable methods of fee setting, which seems entirely appropriate for this case.

The direct costs of permitting activities are supported by special and federal fund revenues as well as general funds. Other necessary activities are supported by general fund subsidies.

Air Quality Construction Permit and Operating Permit Fees Environment Article {2-403, COMAR 26.11.02.16-.19.

Rates: Permit to construct rates are application-specific, and are laid out in the COMAR regulations. The fees range from $200 to $20,200, based on the type of permit.

Permit to operate fees was amended in 1992 to comply with requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The revised fee schedule has led to a significant enhancement in revenue to support the costs of achieving federal goals, with a fee schedule phased in as follows: CY 1993 - 2006 Range from $15/ton to $39.48/ton of regulated emissions CY 2007 $41.02/ton - $328,047/cap CY 2008 $41.96/ton - $335,559/cap

The Maryland Clean Air Fund is established within the Air and Radiation Management Administration to support the Department's efforts to maintain the degree of purity of the air necessary to protect the health, the general welfare, and property of the people of Maryland. Special fund revenue to the Maryland Clean Air Fund is derived from fees, licenses and penalties.

Chapter 358 of the Acts of 1993 has replaced the old system of industry-based operating permit fees in favor of emission-based permit fees for stationary source polluters. The new fee schedule is intended to meet federally-designed "presumptive minimum" funding levels. The breakdown of the FY08 total special fund revenue to the Maryland Clean Air Fund is as follows: Clean Air Act Title V Operating Permits $3,531,638 Non-Title V Operating Permits $ 520,501 Construction permits $ 706,010 Asbestos Licenses $ 74,875 Asbestos Training Fees $ 17,275 Penalties $1,076,313 Miscellaneous

Clean Air Act Title V Operating Permit Fee Revenues are projected to be as follows: FY 2009 FY 2010 $4,751,230 $4,751,230


- 375 -



Beginning in calendar year 1997, these fees have been adjusted in accordance with the Consumer Price Index, such that fees established under this section may not exceed $700,000 for any single source.

The State's air pollution control program also is funded from sources other than the Maryland Clean Air Fund as follows: FY08 Appropriation

Exempted from this fee are fingerprints taken because of law enforcement action, fingerprints retaken because of an error by the Department and those fingerprint fees waived by the Superintendent. Before the fees were charged, the State Police was the only organization in many areas which provided fingerprints at no cost. This resulted in some police barracks spending too much time preparing fingerprints. It is hoped that the fees will reduce the volume of fingerprinting requests, thus enabling troopers to concentrate more of their efforts on law enforcement.
